Keep bets in-play

The Smarkets 'keep bets in-play' feature allows users to leave their unmatched bets live once the market goes in-play - giving them more opportunity to be matched at the price they’ve requested.

Normally unmatched bets are automatically cancelled when the market is halted just before going in-play. Now, for markets that are scheduled to be turned in-play, users can request that individual unmatched bets are not cancelled when the market is turned in-play.

This feature means that users who want to be matched at a certain price will not have to re-place the bet when the market goes live, but does not guarantee that you will be matched.

The market will halt as normal once the event starts, but when it turns in-play all bets selected with the 'keep bets in-play' feature will be available for other users to match.
